IMF Seeks Views on Surveillance Reform



Last Updated: March 19, 2019

Key questions the paper strives to address on Surveillance:

  • Should Fund surveillance be emphasizing more the systemic –as opposed to domestic—effects of policies of major advanced and emerging market countries?
  • What would be the best way to do so? What kind of financial sector surveillance is needed to get to the root of risks emerging from the financial sector?
  • Should the Fund rethink its focus on individual countries as the main unit of analysis and devolve more attention to themes, sectors, networks interconnected countries, and large complex financial institutions?
  • In what other ways can the Fund improve its surveillance activities?
